The Ministry of Health has announced that its Pharmaceutical Inspectorate discovered a large quantity of medicinal products unauthorized for the local market during inspections of private pharmacies in North Mitrovica.
Origin and Misuse of Confiscated Products
According to the announcement, the discovered products bore Serbian or Macedonian bands, or in some cases, no bands at all.
“In one of the city’s pharmacies, medicinal products with a red band were also found, which are designated for the public health sector and are free for citizens or donated to the North Mitrovica Hospital. These same products were misused by being sent to private pharmacies for sale,” the announcement stated.
All unauthorized medicinal products were confiscated by the inspectorate, and regular procedures will continue in the coming days.
